How to Build Efficient Teams

by Candice Gottlieb-Clark

In a recent free HR webinar, I discuss how to develop efficient teams. Why does developing a high-performing and effective team seem like an impossible wish? You’ve hired well and the team is filled with competent, driven, and intelligent individuals. So why do they still flounder when working together? The reality is, high-performing teamwork goes beyond capabilities as each contributor helps catapult the team through his/her own involvement. They do this by building upon each other, by challenging each other, and by wanting to be a part of the same team.

When teams go awry, or simply fail to reach a place of healthy collaboration, it is important to take a step back and evaluate what is (or is not) happening. Poor accountability doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Holding more meetings won’t ensure better collaboration. Instead, you must identify what is interfering with the ability, or the desire, of the team to be successful.

In the free HR webinar I presented, I examine six well-known components of team functionality from a problem-solving perspective. We will dive deep to expose the circumstances of each component that undermine teams and interfere with their ability to be high functioning. You will learn what to watch out for, and the steps you can take, to get and keep things on track so that all of your teams can become Dynamic!
